Tampa, Florida melodic death metal act THE ABSENCE have finished recording their new album and follow-up to 2018’s A Gift for the Obsessed. Mixing is currently underway.
A release date has yet to be confirmed, though a fall release via M-Theory Audio is expected. For now, a brief preview of the new record can be heard HERE.
Florida’s THE ABSENCE came onto the scene in 2005 with their crushing, Erik Rutan-produced Metal Blade Records debut, “From Your Grave.” The album and its two follow-ups, 2007’s “Riders of the Plague” and 2010’s “Enemy Unbound,” showcased the perfect mixture of heart-wrenching melodies and skull-pounding aggression, truly making them one of the premiere bands of the melodic death metal scene. THE ABSENCE further ensconced their reputation via several tours supporting some of the biggest names in metal, including Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Goatwhore, Kataklysm, Destruction and Entombed.
